finally tonight, today's throwback. >> here was someone who was brilliant and could have applied these incredible talents for good to help humanity and, instead, he applied it to murder. >> bret: 28 years ago today in 1996, ted kaczynski otherwise known as the unabomber arrested in a remote montana cabin after a 17-year chase guess what the story is available today on fox nation. scandalous unabomber takes a look at the hunt for the most notorious serial bomber. tomorrow on "special report" "common ground" segment on electric vehicles. effort to curtail the biden administration's mandates on both sides of the aisle. catch us 6:00 p.m. in the east and 3:00 p.m. on the west coast. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. fair balanced and unafraid. here is laura.

>> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from los angeles. tonight, disappearing dreams. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ >> lisa, i want some more. >> eh? >> if democrats have their way for another four years you will all start feeling like oliver twist. you will have less and be

expected to be happy with it. less begging the government for scraps. more government and power in washington and less for you. here is the reality for young people today. >> look at the average income 75 grand. how are you supposed to afford an average mortgage payment of $3,400. >> young people can't afford to buy homes part of the american dream which unfortunately is now dead. >> laura: there are consequences for run away spending and borrowing and we all have to just contend with this now. there is no way to defend this. but, yeah, they are going to try. you will start hearing things like who needs to own a home anyway. rent something so much easier anyway. houses just tie you down. you should just faux focus more on your work life balance. send me a memo when we have

retired that phrase. and remember feminists they have always believed that suburban life was repressive, even racist. but this all a lie or to use their lingo it's all just disinformation. it's used to cover for the failed liberal experiment. now, young people just starting out now see the american dream as out-of-reach. yeah. well, no wonder so many of them feel depressed and just stuck. >> you just feel lied to because you thought if you just went to >> laura: the globalists know best. look at how well they did by our kids during covid after all. and now they offer no real solutions to curbing inflation of bringing down prices. instead. gearing up do tell us really today's problems they are just too complex to solve.

once again, we're hearing the fratz the new normal. but it is not normal. that is a lie. it's a twisted bleak world they are creating and the establishment's handling of things is deeply unpopular. check this out. a new "wall street journal" poll is showing that most americans think things are getting worse not better economically. that's just over the last two years. bidenomics was supposed to be making everything better. a new line from washington though will be that we have to unite as americans. and simply all be okay with less. now, they are going to also try redefine patriotism as well. now, remember, if you really care about protecting others, you needed to get the covid shot. so, soon, it's going to be if you really care about saving our country from climate change,

you're going to ditch that gas powered suv, your gas stove, your gas water heater, et cetera. and if you don't, you're just a maga interesting to la indict. >> let's be clear that the automotive sector is moving towards evs and we can't pretend otherwise. sometimes when these debates happen i feel like it's the early 2000s and i'm talking to people who think we can have land line phones forever. >> laura: what a dismissive jerk. okay? i kent thinking i watched him and thought wait a second, that was a road scholar, i think cecil needs to come back from the grave and defund the scholarship. cars and land lines that's the same thing? okay, pete. go back to south bend. if you are a young voter, wake up before it's too late. you don't have to like everything about trump or anything he does or says. but one thing he will not do, he will not turn the economy upside

down and then gut your basic freedoms and then tell you get used to it. that is not the american way. and that's the angle. all right, joining us now newt gingrich, former speaker of the house and fox news contributor. newt, they know how to grow the economy. they actually do because trump was doing it. but they decided to do the opposite at the beginning of 2021. this is their policy, is it not? >> sure, look, you have to understand that the weird elements of the democratic party are now dominant. and they live in a fantasy world. and the only way they can survive is convincing the rest of us that their fantasy is okay. we were struck on good friday we went by mcdonald's and picked up fillet of fish which is now about half the size of the fillet of fish before biden. every time you turn around, you are remifnedded that these policies of the biden democrats

do not work. not a matter of ideology, you can't build enough electric cars that people want, which is why they are now thousands of cars sitting on lots, the head of hurts lost his job for buying too many electric cars the average american is saying no, i don't want it. and have the answer in the weird left is we don't care. we're going to impose it. we're going to make you do it. and, flint firefighters union people like buttigieg who combines being ignorant with arrogant breathtaking for a cabinet officer. >> laura: well, and also, newt, i think you and i predicted this at the time, but the biden administration also failed to live up to another promise. watch this. >> you guys started draining the strategic petroleum reserve to try to help with the putin price hike a few years. you said you were going to refill it but now it doesn't seem like that's happening. why? >> i believe the department of energy is -- is responsible for

that particular component as refilling that so i would refer to you the department of energy. >> laura: okay. newt? she is acting like the department of manufacturing is department of energy a separate government in a separate country. they knew what they were doing when they drained the reserve, did they not? >> of course. of course. look, first of all, let's be fair, she is the worst press secretary in history. but, since she is trying to defend the worst administration's policies, she doesn't really have much of a fighting chance. the left doesn't like oil. it doesn't like gas. it has a fantasy belief that between wind and solar you can give up everything else it's totally false. it's literally physically impossible yet they get together have a cocktail party and convince themselves that they

are right this administration desperately sold at a time when people told them not to. the oil out of the strategic petroleum reserve trying to keep the price down for political reasons. now they can't refill it because the price is going back up and it doesn't fit their values. they don't care if we run out of oil. what they care about is some fantasy world in which you and i will somehow get by on their theoretical inventions of technologies that don't work. >> but, newt, this is why they love the covid lockdowns, right? i'm here in california. i'm surprised if the state ever opened. frankly. chasing people on the beach. it was so embarrassing. but they wanted to condition people to stay at home, hunker down, the new normal. travel less, just don't expect more. just be. be put, stay put. i really think they thought people were going to be okay with that long term. thank god we had florida, texas

and all the other red states that said to hell with you, we are opening up. >> you know, it was really strange all across the modern industrial world. covid became the excuse for the political elites to suddenly become really really powerful. and they loved it. they also cheated on all of it. you had governor whitmer whose husband was taking a boat out when it was illegal to take boats. you had all sorts of but from their standpoint, covid was the great opportunity. >> laura: a dream. they loved covid. >> to truly control americans. >> laura: this was the best thing ever for them. uber eats, sit home in your sweatpants august day wait for the next uber eats and check from the government. this was socialism on display. they loved it. >> and the fact is it didn't work. most americans know it didn't work. the damage to our children by closing the schools. >> laura: horrible. >> horrendous. part of the reaction we are seeing that leads to a donald trump victory is people are sick of politicians who not only dictate what you should do but

then cheat and don't do it themselves. so they set up rules for you because they know they are not going to obey the very rules that they are creating. >> laura: newt, i want to play one soundbite from president biden today where, again, he thinks this is all a messaging problem. so they are trying out new messaging. watch. >> we have to remember who we are. we are the united states of america. i mean -- i mean this from the bottom of my heart. there is nothing beyond our capacity. when we do it together. we are the only nation in the student history i could find that's come out of every crisis we have entered stronger than when we went in. >> laura: well, newt, that's just false. the polls show people think we are not better off than we were in 2019 before the pandemic. we are worse off by almost every measure. >> i agree with his conclusion that after we defeat biden and we defeat the weird left, we will come out of this for the next 10 years dramatically

stronger. it's just not the outcome he expects. he is, look, this is a guy who for some reason sold out to the hard left on everything. i mean, that's how you end up with a transgender day on easter. i mean, do you know how hard it is to make a mistake like that? and you go down every single front he is doing things that make no sense. doubling and tripling down on electric vehicles when the american people are saying everywhere. >> laura: they don't care. >> it's a 6% market. it's not 100 percent market. >> laura: newt, it's so great to see you. you and i remember california. >> thank you. >> laura: when they had republican governors and the state was like surfing u.s.a. all the time. all right, newt, great to see you. the warnings were dire. the experts told everyone to stop having so many babies. >> no intelligent, patriotic american family ought to have more than two children

preferably one and there is not the slightest question if we don't get the population under control in the voluntary means in the i not too distant future the government will tell you how many children can you have. >> laura: as usual, the experts were smug and cynical but not smart. and now the survival of america is actually at stake. a new review of the u.s. census data shows when women ages 25 to 44 are asked how many children they have, the most common answer is zero. zero children. only 5% of women are having four or more children. now we know china and russia have long time they have had similar birth rate crises. but, in the united states, where last time i checked god still matters to most people. why? happening and is there any turning this around? projections now show our population declining in the second half of the century. and the consequences for the country are disastrous if this is the case, lower tax base,

lower productivity, fewer workers, fewer jobs. joining me now fox news contributor sean duffy, co-host of the bottom line on fox business and proud dad of 9 children. >> a lot. nine, yeah. >> laura: sean was like wait was it 7, 9. >> i lose count. >> laura: one of the many reserves we adore you is the number of children declining because of money concerns or is this changing morals? >> i think it's a number of factors at play, laura, as christianity recedes, we replace our culture with other gods, it's narcissism, consumerism. and as we look at families, families are about sacrifice. families are about giving more to someone else than giving to yourself. if you look at what happens to young people right now, laura, they have been told this whole generation be focused on your career. don't be focused on your mate and family. pursue your career. sometimes you get too old to have kids or find a mate if you pursue your career. these kids today, these young people today, they have been

hounded since they have been in kindergarten that there is a climate crisis on the horizon and by having kids, they are going to effect the climate so save the climate, don't have kids, laura. and they bought into that. another problem is social media. a lot of these people are having these relationships that are fake on social media. you and i used to go to the bar or a quof shop in the 80's and 90's. they don't do that anymore. they are not building real relationships and you can't have kids if you don't find a mate. young boys, laura, there is a study, 18 to 25 years old half of them have never approached a girl and asked them out. if you don't go on a date you can't get married. if you don't get married you can't have kids. in is my advice, laura, getting married, having kids will make you happy? you will probably be more economically successful, and. >> laura: the studies show that. >> it does. >> laura: the studies show that. >> i talked to duke tore and he served people in the last moments of their life on the

death beds and i asked them what do people talk about what are their regrets on death bed without missing a beat the biggest regret is they didn't have more kids. the time is when you are young. find a mate: find love. fulfilling and raising kids. giving yourself to someone else. fills the heart, fills the life, focus on yourself is lonely and i think we missed out on this culture. the culture is reinforcing these ideas that families are bad and loneliness is good. well, i'm sorry, it's not. >> laura: you i remember whether mother teresa was asked about this once and i don't know if raymond told me about this people asked children which one shouldn't thereby look at the playground which one shouldn't be there children or love. sacrifice but they are loved. they drive us crazy, right? three teenagers, believe me. i'm a poster child for sometimes frustrated mom. >> great hair.

>> laura: i want to. >> gray hair. >> laura: i do have gray hair but you can't see it right now isn't that great? one person warning about declining birth rate is elon musk. watch this. >> there are not enough people. i can't emphasize this enough. there are not enough people. and i any one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birth rate and the rapidly declining birth rate. it is and he, yet, some people, including smart people think that there are too many people in the world. >> laura: yeah,sean, again, the false promise of materialism or focus on yourself or work life balance. i know that's a big obsession of yours. work life balance. sean. but he gets to the point, i mean, people say he is unconventional he has kids from different women. but his point is on it. he honest with that.

>> he is are the is that. he understands this is not about even the happiness component of having a family and having kids. this is about what happens to the economy. who is the next generation of workers that you are going to have in your society and your community. who is going to take care of the old people. who is going to fund social security and medicare when you get to the age of retirement and you get to the age of being sick and 80 years old you are not going to have a next generation and, i think it is a crisis and, again, if you look at what is good for countries societies is to reproduce, have kids. that shows you are healthy, strong, and you are patriotic, i believe. elon musk is spot on. >> laura: i would say it's the opposite. you are not patriotic if you have too many kids. we're done we're done after one kid. you are not a roast you are a person. >> i thought that laura at 3 and then i had 5 and 6. and if you are open to life. you know it's a beautiful thing. i have a down syndrome little girl who is 4 years old. those little babies are being aborted all over the country.

she is the greatest joy in our family and she is the favorite of everybody. all kids are a blessing. and, do you know what? when people say they can't afford it. that's bogus you will be able to figure it out. i had no money. i just got married. was poor as all get out. and i was open to life and do you know whether a? you make more money. you will get more money and you will be rewarded, i think for having kids financially and spiritually. >> laura: sean, you single-handedly keep the econoline business going.me sean, thank yomou very much. you take care. texas is demanding answers abour biden's secret plan to flood its state with illegals.ry d lt. governor dan patrick joinsa me, next. ♪ bass pro shops.

>> laura: just when you thoughtt more insane, they do. taxpayer money is now being used to help a serial squatter. fox news national correspondent bill melugin is here, we're together first time in the studio with all the details. bill, great to see you. >> good to see you as well. squatting has made its way into the national headlines really all across the country in weeks. this one in particular in washington state is just a really egregious case that is going to have you shaking your head. a serial squatter named song kim who has been refusing to leave a $2 million bellevue home and

target the repeated protest has dodged eviction for a third time. this is after a controversial nonprofit stepped in with 50 grand in taxpayer dollars to cover his rent. now, that squatter has been in that house for almost two years now it's a five bedroom property owned by sing who con fronted kim at the house before. >> rent. >> you haven't paid the rent for the last five years. >> now we talked to sing, the homeowner a short time ago. he says this all started back in july of 2022 when he began renting the home out to kim and kim quickly stopped paying rent. >> i think is he a criminal. is he a psycho, he is exploiting his kids, also, is he a liar. he is telling same story that he is the cfo of some company. cfo invested in bitcoin. >> now there was an eviction hearing scheduled for friday but that has since been scrapped after a nonprofit called housing

justice project covered almost a year of kim's unpaid rent to keep him in the property they have spotted him $90,000 in taxpayer funds. every time it pays his rent recess the clock on the legal action he can take. it's happened three times now and now he spent $30,000 on attorneys fees just trying to get that squatter out of his house. >> it's amazing to see how the system is protecting a criminal or somebody who is paying his taxes who is falling every ruiz and living my american dream. >> laura, the cherry on top of all of this the profit propping up the squatting daily mail reports the safety washington gives that profit $4.6 million every year to pay 32 lawyers and support staffs. can you only imagine the frustration that homeowner is

feeling now this cost enormous amount of money in legal fees, the judicial process. i don't think people like really these these stories are funny not. >> ruining finances paying more in the mortgage getting in the income with the rent now even with the taxpayer funds coming in from that nonprofit. is he taking a big loss on this. >> laura: bill, great to see you in person. >> you too. >> laura: now we know why they tried to keep this secret. g.o.p. officials pressing unsuccessfully for information about migrant flights demanding to know where the thousands across the border every day something bill knows a lot about where they are being sent. turns out two g.o.p. strongholds texas and florida have been receiving the overwhelming majority of these illegals. almost 350,000 otherwise known as 90%. the florida governor responded today. >> first of all, it's an illegal program. they are bringing people in who

don't have a right to be in this country from foreign countries. it's secret in the sense, yes, we know the program is going on we are suing over it we think it's illegal throw six people on a commercial flight coming from a foreign country there is no acknowledgment at all to state or local authorities. >> laura: joining me now the other state, lt. governor of texas dan patrick. governor, good see you tonight. you know, this is done with not so much as a heads up to you, governor abbott or desantis, so my question to you is this a purposeful effort to change the demographic and political makeup of your states? >> i think you could make that case, laura, that this is exactly what they are doing change the political balance they know texas and florida stand in the way of them taking the white house each election cycle. think about this.

remember the secret flights they flew in overnight to communities all over america chartered flight no one knew about. handing out vouchers to illegal immigrants to get on the planes. we don't know what flights they are coming in on. a thousand flights. sending them 4 at a time, 8 at a time, 9 at a time. think about this american citizen you can't get on a plane without a photo i.d. so how are these illegal immigrant getting on a plane with a government voucher, with no identification that anyone can prove. they could be anyone but it's okay to stop an american citizen from getting on auto plane but it's fine if they let illegals get here about a voucher from the government to go to florida and texas and other states. that's exactly what they want. remember, laura, we talk about these people coming here i will legally and becoming citizens. think about this in 20 years, only five election cycles ago it was george bush it wasn't that

long. five election cycles in 20 years all of these illegal immigrants will have children of voting age. >> laura: our insane policy neither parent is illegal citizen you still become american citizen all of that has got to change, too. >> that's right. >> laura: dan, texas argued against the biden justice department over the law that you guys passed if the fifth circuit the judge made a good point. >> if the answer is we don't have the resources, why hasn't the federal government taken texas up on its generous offer to say hey here are our resources we will do it for you. they are not saying yes. they are saying no. >> they are not just saying no. respectfully, they are destroying our texas' property. they are saying and suggesting awful things about texas at the united states supreme court which are demonstrably un untrue and suing us. >> laura: dan, what are you thinking after you heard those

oral arguments is this going to go your way? >> well, i still feel this will go back to the supreme court. no matter who wins or loses i think we had a great day in the court. we made the case that we believe our legislation, i shared with you, that i wrote with senator charles perry, we believe it is purely constitutional. and, remember, when i was on your show a few weeks ago, laura, that very night the supreme court in a surprise 6-3 vote said the bill could become law while it was going through the court. that's a good sign from the supreme court. we are being invaded whether they are getting vouchers to get on a flight or coming here from all over the world. here is a incredible number laura to tell you who he would being invaded in 2021, we apprehended 342 people single men from china. last year we apprehended 22,000 men from china. and this year, 24,000 already through three months. that's from china. that's an invasion. they may not be wearing uniforms but they are not our friends coming here and biden is allowing it. >> laura: we are going to talk to pomp about that, what is

really up with those chinese entering this country coming up. lt. governor patrick, great to see you. all right, dr. jill, she doesn't have a stethoscope but she is trying to resuscitate her husband's campaign. we will tell you about it, next. ♪

oh my god he knocked it out of the park. >> he was fabulous. >> he completely blew away the biden is too old issue. >> this was a tour de force he had frazier's left hook. >> it was the best speech of his presidency by far. [laughter] >> laura: oh, that's funny. it was funny that night but it is really funny tonight. as we said it was one of the worst state of the union speeches of all of time and sure enough it did not move the

needle for biden at all. almost a month after the state of the shows, donald trump is still dominating. a new "wall street journal" poll shows him leading in nearly every swing state, arizona, georgia, michigan, north carolina, nevada, and pennsylvania. but dr. jill, she has a different diagnosis. >> he is losing all the battleground states -- >> -- no, is he not losing in all the battleground states. >> all but one. >> coming up even or doing better. so you know what? once people start to focus in on and they see their two choices it's obvious that joe will win this election. >> laura: the plutocrats have told her kellyanne former white house counselor to trump. should take the doctor's orders and rest easy. >> like her most of them are in denial, laura. they look at these polls a&e and pretend we don't see. they look at the southern border

and pretend we don't see it. all the issues joe biden is under water. disapproved more than he is approved on all the major issues. the horse race is one thing. it's impressive for trump at this early stage but it's the issues and more negative than positive towards joe biden personally and presidentially that is really the problem that he has. i'm not even sure dr. jill is an asset anymore. more people look at her as a nurse not a doctor to her husband at this point. she is more of an enabler, i think, and when she denies what cbs news is telling her, listen, is he not doing well -- she denies the polls. i think there is something else going on here. i think his wife and his vice president two women in joe biden's life, front and center, are not really assets for him going into the fall. if she were, jill biden were an asset she would keep her own campaign schedule. when she does more of that only going to remind everybody that her husband lacks the agility, ability, and acuity to campaign

for himself. >> laura: now we are still in the easter octave,kellyanne. we think the media has really zeroed in on trump and his nationalist followers of the christian bent. watch this. >> i am god is what trump is saying to his followers why are they believing it. >> these christians are been co-opted by nationalists by white nationalism. >> we saw when january 6th s not insignificant number of christians who were whipped into a violent frenzy. >> jesus suffered an identity theft on january 6th. >> it is a cult, wake up! >> laura: wake up kellyanne. >> you know, laura, they don't know what to do. they were supposed to get trump. they insulted him and then they investigated him and then they impeached him and then they indicted him and now he is on trial and yet here he is leading joe biden in the polls and i think the democrats will regret not getting rid of biden and harris a year ago and put

someone in there, maybe lose to donald trump in 2024 make him the face of opposition. this whole attack on christianity and religion overall. >> laura: backfire. >> it's in the halls of congress. you have so many democrats seem losing to creditor. catholic any suburb on a sunday multi generations of hispanics and asian americans filling up those pews in some of those masses you have democrats always offering us their thoughts never their prayers. big social science surveys people are losing their faith, they feel lonely, they feel isolated. we should be talking more about faith not less. >> laura: encouraging people to look to the almighty. kellyanne, great to see you as always. all right, biden he has talked tough on china but we know president xi wants him to win not trump. why are chinese nationals are flooding into the united states? we'll find out. >> former trump secretary of

>> we're going to make it clear that in order to deal with these things we are going to hold

china accountable to follow the rules. >> laura: well, if china wanted to infiltrate america, send tens of thousands of ccp agents into america, biden is sure making it easy for them. a new report says since he took office, more than 140,000 chinese nationals have illegally entered the united states. not including got-aways and nearly all of them have been single adult men. but don't worry, because president biden checked in with xi on the phone yesterday. >> president biden spoke by phone today with president xi, xi jinping of the people's republic of china. the purpose of the call was to build on the two leaders meeting in woodside california back in november of last year. the two leaders held a candid and constructive discussion on a range of bilateral, regional and global issues, including continuing efforts on climate change and people-to-people exchanges. >> laura: really? climate change? joining me now mike pompeo, former trump secretary of state,

fox news contributor, mr. secretary, they sound like two best friends catching up. >> you know, readed chinese take out of what took place very different than kirby described. xi jinping making it very clear he was not going to sit idle if the united states took action and the american response is to say don't worry let's have another conversation let's talk some more. you talked about illegal immigrants doesn't sound like he made a single statement about them coming across our southern border. there is no chance, laura, this is accidental, that these folks are actually seeking asylum. the chinese communist party has enormous control over who gets to leave their country. there is something afoot here when we have more coming across the border in the last two years than the previous decade combined. a real risk to american national security and conversation about climate change which you noticed laura the chinese communist party is no more going to comply

with the paris climate than put a man on the moon. we are destroying the american economy allowing the chinese economy to continue to flourish. >> laura: mr. secretary, when a chinese national travels here, and if they are from china, they are traveling here, are they not, at the expressed permission of the communist party of china, correct? >> absolutely certain. >> laura: so that's 140,000 chinese approved illegals coming here, a lot of them have very nice roller bags, we saw that video. what's going on? are they preparing for what they think is a biden second term? potential bailout of the united states if we decide to not pay up our debt? what is it? >> well, we know a couple things for sure, laura, about the folks that are traveling, we know for sure that we don't have any idea who they're.

that is not only are they mostly got-aways. >> but, even the vetting that we're doing of them is just a handful of simple questions and then we release them. we know for sure we don't know who they are. second we know the chinese communist party knows they are here. imagine a fraction imagine 1% of tens of thousands of folks are here on nefarious mission on behalf of the chinese communist party working all the fentanyl issues. work on the cartel assistance to the mexicans right up and funneling money, laundering money through the chinese system. this is dangerous. this is an enormous national security risk to the united states to have that many chinese nationals coming here with the permission of our adversary, xi jinping that will be a bad day, laura, i fear we don't have our hands around who is coming in, where they're and president biden doesn't give a rip about it. >> laura: no, after 9/11, i guess we have just lost all those lessons or never learned them in the first place. mr. secretary, thank you. good to see you. all right, ahead, has bidenomics

>> this is great. and biden's economy, not only is homeownership increasingly out of reach for americans even dating has become too expensive. jens z. is having to get very creative. >> an inexpensive date idea is going on a walk. you can talk, hold hands and look at the sky, it's great. >> these dates are boring dates of use a cheap date idea. number 1, the park. the park is great because you can do so many things there. >> laura: summer skipping the in-person part of dating altogether. ones saying that virtual first dates are less expensive because you don't have to worry about buying food and drinks. let alone the $30 over there and back. they are also convenient. you can go on multiple dates and a day without leaving your house. zoom dating right up there with

zoom cocktail hour during covid, didn't you hate that? joining me now as isabel brown, a gen z. conservative and morgan michael, a single gen z. what is explaining this? let's go to -- i think we will go to morgan first. is this biden's fault or just gen z. laziness? >> i think this is gen z laziness. i understand the cost of increasing going on dating but when we look on her generation, 73 cents -- 73% of us feel loneliness and when they say insecurity and stress, i think my generation just needs to get out there and actually get some human interaction in there and i really think that sure the economy may be a case for some people but i do think it is laziness and people just want to go online and talk to as many people as they want. >> laura: isabel, i have to say i have a lot of young people working for me, i love having young people on staff. and repeatedly, the young gals in their twenties, they are

complaining about the gen z men. they are too much into themselv. again, i'm going to say work life balance, they are too much into that. is that accurate or my getting a warped view because i'm listening to all of these complaints day in and day out? >> so much of this boils down to individual experiences. but what i think is phenomenally interesting is taking this to the generational level. that same business insider article that we just showed on the screen talks about how our generation at large is being very disillusioned with dating apps and with hookup culture that the left is trying to serve to us on a silver platter every day. meanwhile, other surveys out there show that 93% of jen -- gen z across the spectrum still want to get married for the first time ever in the last several years, the marriage rate is actually back up to prepandemic levels as of just a few days ago. we are quitting our hormonal birth control, to leading those

dating apps and realizing we want to so much more than what culture has to offer. as for zoom calls and face times, i think that is a new version and a new venue for what young people have always been doing, talking to each other on the phone before they go on a date in person. i find it very encouraging that our generation is longing for real human connection in the era of only fans and pornography reigning supreme. >> laura: get off the screens. morgan, another blast from the past is growing in popularity with some gen z, speed dating. an article explains how dating experts say speed dating is a great option for those looking to get off their phones and meet people who may shine more in person than they do online. everyone remembers the speed dating scene. i think it was sex and the city was hysterically funny. maybe all hope is not lost for gen z. speed dating is back. >> definitely not, not all hope is lost. i think this is a great idea.

get women and men out there to meet multiple other singles in a human interaction way. get off of the screen, off of the dating apps. we see so many studies on our generation is craving that interaction again, especially post- pandemic and i think it is a great way and the next good direction. >> laura: i think you're both pretty optimistic, which is awesome. the worst thing is to hear negative all the time. i see the pendulum swinging back, you are rejecting the bad advice from my generation and you're finding back to basics may be is a good thing. isabel and morgan, come back soon, great to see you both. that is it for us tonight in la, do not forget to always set your dvr so you stay connected with us. make sure to follow me and my adventures in california on social media, thank you for watching. as always, remember it is american now and forever. jesse waters and the gang up next. >> jesse: welcome to primetime. tonigh
